Major Cities

There are a good number of major cities in Australia each with its own attractions and atmosphere. The most obvious is Sydney which is the capital of the state of New South Wales and has everything a modern traveller would need in terms of hotels, restaurants and landmarks.

It is the most populated city in the country, and has the largest airport to cater for the many thousands of visitors who come to the country every year. However the capital of Australia is Canberra, but here there is less emphasis on tourism and entertainment. It’s very much an administrative city which has all the government offices.

Each state has its own major city so visitors to South Australia will find Adelaide the place to go and travel to the locations can be sourced at travelsydney.co.uk. Located between Adelaide and Sydney is the state of Victoria and here the major city is Melbourne.

This is a great place to visit, with an atmospheric riverside scene, good entertainment and a list of sporting events which defies belief. In one period of six months the city hosted the Formula One race, the Australian tennis Open, the PGA Golf Australian Open, two international cricket matches against the West Indies, plus all the Aussie rules games and soccer matches.

To cater for this mass of sporting events the city has six different venues. Information on other major cities of Australia can be found at travelsydney.co.uk and these cover Brisbane, Perth and Darwin. Perth is regarded as one of the best major cities in Australia.
